I just built my second computer and it posts and everything (thankfully) haha

but put my upgrade cd that i bought from school in to install windows but it just shows a cursor flashing and my cd drive flashing its light like its reading it, then after a while it says change boot drive and restart the computer. . .

in bios i changed it to first boot by cd rom and changed from ide to the other one like idhe or something which i read to do.. it reads my cd rom drive so idk what to do ...

m happy though because it works for the most part,i heard my motherboard arrives DOA with no sound so im still going to be worried about that till i install windows


i have fx6300

You may have a bad disk.

Do you get the screen saying "Press any key to boot from cd...." or something like that?

If so, and you are getting the described error after pressing a key, I would guess the disk is bad.
